It is good to try this again with the proper instructions!!! I had posted, but no posting several times. So here goes... Jesus had normal folks in His family tree. For example: Rehab was a prostitute. Ruth was a Moabite. They were not in the Lineage of David. This shows that God wanted not just Israelites but others because we all are childen of God! We all are not perfect. Today it is the same. Those "called" of God to follow Jesus are not prepared at first. We are taught and prepared by the Holy Spirit, prayer, study and education to do the will of God. This is not just clergy but lay folks! God knows I kept saying "no" and then said "yes." Our family tree has all types, characters and sinners. Thank God we are accepted and not judged.
Thanks for bringing us into the 21st century Pastor Carolyn!
